Refresh your holiday look!

Summer is upon us and it’s finally time to start thinking about treating yourself to a flattering bikini or one piece. While high street shops are always full of swim options, it’s a good time to have a look and invest your money in the brands that specialise in swimwear.

The price of the products might come as a surprise, but all I have to say is that the brand is a part of Chanel house and in this case price comes with quality.

Shoes Update

With summer being almost upon us, we should all think about updating our shoe game for new season. This year, fashion trends offer wide range of options and styles, so everyone can find their perfect fit. From those who appreciate being comfortable, they will be pleased to hear that “daddy’s sneakers” got replaced by “daddy’s sandals” which are surely as relaxed as sandals can get. There is also a good news for minimalistic style lovers are strappy sandals are currently taking over the fashion wheel and there are definitely staying with us for longer.

Find the top trends for this shoe season and choose the best one for yourself!

Strappy Sandals

Strappy sandals are perfect if you are looking for minimalistic and feminine touch to your summer outfits.

Daddy’s sandals

Unexpected trend that all fashionistas fall in love with. They are another inspiration from dad wardrobe, but what can I say, there is some beauty in this “ugly” yet sophisticated trend.

Platform Sandals

90’s vibes all the way and something you should add to your wish list if you tired of wearing high heels in the summer.

Heavy Leather Sandals

More feminine version of daddy’s sandals with fashion and chic twist into them.

Heeled Platform Sandals

Option for the brave ones! Recently popularized by Saint Laurent can complement your glamorous evening look!

Stylish Slides

They are summer classic and if you still didn’t get a pair, new season it’s the best time to do it to so you can enjoy wearing them during sunny days!

 

 

Timeless Piece

Those who already have one in their wardrobe, know that camel coat is amazing solution for every fashion struggle. It immediately makes a casual outfit a game changer and that’s why so many fasionistas rely on this chic piece. Timeless and glamorous will become your favourite piece to wear on repeat. It’s safe to say that it’s easier (and more interesting) to wear than black coat you holding on to, especially during the Spring season.

It works in every day look with jeans and turtleneck as well as thrown on the classy evening dress. The simplicity of the coat also gives you a great opportunity to play with accesories. To complement the coat, wear it with contrasting handbag in toffie colour or trending in this season hair pearl clip.

Your New Favourite Shade of Green

During winter months the shade of green on your mind is probably khaki as it fits with the atmosphere of cold and short days.  While it’s easy to say that we can wear more colours during this time, it’s not as exciting to put pink trousers on  and be positive when you going out to minus temperature.

While it’s still safe and definitely trendy to pick khaki clothing , you should turn your attention to a new shade of green taking over the season –Pistachio.  Pastel shade offers colourful and fresh update to your blacks and burgundy wardrobe and it’s undeniable that soon everyone will be obsessed with Pistachio colour.

Check out my favourite current picks in Pistachio colour and get them while they are still in stock!

Did someone said 50% off?!

Black Friday is your last chance to get Christmas gifts for everyone ( or just another opportunity to treat yourself ) with nicely discounted price. Some brands already started their Black Friday sales and they usually continue until Monday night, but the biggest hit is always on Friday. Thankfully you don’t have to spend your day waiting in the massive queue for ages and luckily you can get all barging discounts not only in the stores, but also online!

How to get the best deals on Black Friday?

1. Do your research. Check the prices of the items you are planning to buy before they go on sale, as sometimes retailers increase the prices before sale to make a discount look more attractive ( but in the end of the day, you feel like you’ve saved a lot, but you actually don’t)
2. Check multiple stores for the best price. Very often one brand has multiple stockist and their prices can be different as well. Check the item you like in few places before buying it ( amazon, zalando, asos etc).
3. Be ready. Set up the accounts in the online shops where you planning to spend your money to save yourself a time.
4. Set the budget! Black Friday is great, but Boxing day it’s just few weeks after and we all know that for the best deals in UK we usually have to wait until December, so don’t spend everything!

Top Sale Tip* Put the items you like in your basket just before sale starts and buy it the minute after watch hits midnight! You will make sure you get the desire pieces in your sizes with the best price!

Hello early 2000’s!

They say that fashion always comes back. As we grown up and see the trends rapidly changing every season (bringing old fashion back), we can confirm it’s true. Designers logo  bags are currently the hottest product on the market.

New version of Dior saddle bag took over the social media and became the most wanted bag by all fashion world. For a little while, logo bags were more associated with tackiness, rather than fashion trends, but current season is a game changer for vintage bags.

It started from Dior, but it doesn’t mean that you should stop there. All designers started refreshing their old collection and making “new” version of their top bags. The best sellers and most loved ones are Gucci, Fendi, LV and of course Dior early 2000’s designs.  If you don’t want to spend thousands on brand new, vintage inspired bag, there’s a solution for you.

Where to buy Vintage designers bags?

The good thing is that really often you can find vintage, designer bags (in great condition) for a really low price. You can try your luck not only in online shops, but also in charity shops around you. When it comes to legit online shopping, you have to get luck and refresh the website from time to time to find what you are looking for in good price.
